Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a comprehensive development platform and client-side technology for intelligent and cost-effective delivery of video, audio and broadband content over a network, such as the Internet, to desktop, mobile computing, and network connected devices. In one embodiment of the present invention, an intelligent delivery system (IDS) uses delivery behavior techniques for controlling delivery of content downloaded to a network connected device. A delivery behavior may specify one or more of the following delivery related characteristics: 1) a direction, 2) a source, 3) a schedule, 4) a report, and 5) a phase. A source may include a variety of types of content sources providing a range of performance or download characteristics. The IDS may download to the network connected device one or more files from one or more content sources in accordance with a specified delivery behavior. The delivery behavior can provide a balance between download performance and delivery costs in a manner specific to a user or application of the network connected device.
